Bay Trail Photo Walk About

We took advantage of some very beautiful weather over the weekend. Avril got her very own DSLR and we swore that we would do more, what we call, "Photo Walk About." It means to grab camera, get off the couch and take pictures! We tried a new walk at the Hamilton Field portion of the BayTrail. On what was a military airfield there is a beautiful community of homes and businesses. The trail overlooks what was the runway for the airfield. It has been returned to marshland habitat, home to a large number of birds and is a perfect place for photo opportunities.Here are some of my shots.

Of course all this walking and photographing had us hungry, so we mulled over our choices for an early lunch. We wanted to try a new place and had heard good things about Mi Pueblo in Novato, so off we went. I ordered the two taco combo and Avril the super nachos. At under $10 each we were surprised at the huge portions! We ate and ate and still took home huge containers of wonderful food. The refried beans were the best ever!

Chilebrown- It is a Nikon 5300. A very lightweight 24.2MP, HighISO. Great for travel. The camera will use any of my fleet of lenses. I did not notice if they had chili verde. We had carne asada and carnitas both of which were good.
